Less than three weeks after parting company with TRN Michael Savage will now be syndicated by Cumulus. His show, "The Savage Nation" will go live on Tuesday, October 23rd. Co-chief Operating Officer John Dickey said, As we aggressively create radios most compelling mix of show hosts the addition of Michael Savage is a milestone in our determined efforts to provide our listeners nationwide with the best programing in the business."

In late September, Savage said he would be off the air for "some time." according to his website. He posted a message on his website that said, "after a grueling legal battle that cost him and his family dearly, Michael Savage can announce he won." Savage filed a lawsuit against TRN in 2010 over his contract and says he is "now free to work with whomever he wishes in the radio industry from this day forward."

After parting ways with his previous syndicator last month, Michael Savage has joined Cumulus Media Networks roster of talk personalities. Hell get a later timeslot  with Cumulus slotting Savage in the 9pm-12midnight ET daypart. Savage had about 300 affiliates while at Talk Radio Networks, and Cumulus will now work to bring them onboard. —inside radio

I'd like to see stations carry his show delayed so that he finishes off "nonpartisan" CoastToCoastAM (10Pm - 02AM) West Coast time. Savage has wandered into the C2C world from time-to-time.

.. and two C2C presidential, post-debate listener polls show Romney winning almost two-to-one.. so 12 years of anti-Bush shows like the one recently remembering the 9/11/2001 attacks with a show about how Bush and Cheney ordered the attacks (along with Saudi Arabia) has little effect on a large number of their listeners.

A conservative Savage would have more than half of the C2C listeners in no time.. he'd even beat Red Eye among listeners who like C2C stuff.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MICHAEL SAVAGE AND CUMULUS; A NEW POWER IN RADIO October 17, 2012  Cumulus Media Networks, with more than 4,000 affiliate radio stations reaching 121 million listeners, proudly announces Michael Savages The Savage Nation® will go live beginning Tuesday, October 23.

Yeah! I’m going to make it a point to seek him out again. I was listening to an old clip of his, mostly Robin of Berkeley speaking. He was doing one of his interviews where it sounded like it was edited later. I like when he interviews people, even if it is edited, because he lets the guest talk. Now, when are you going to be baaaaaaaaaack, the jogger?

Ok, great news, so far the only station that I know will immediately have Savage is KSFO, I can stream that live at 9pm est but does anyone know of a station that Savage is going to that will provide podcasts?

I need to podcast his show and listen the next day at an earlier time, maybe Dar.Fm is the way to go, is it complicated to use?

“Dar.Fm is the way to go, is it complicated to use?”
_____________________________________________

Dar is easy to use, and free for one program per day.
The show will be in tracks. One Rush takes up about 12 tracks
that play in succession.
If you get distracted, you can go back and click on that track, or start over.
I have exchanged a few emails with the guy that runs it.
He will help if you have any problems, or you can ask me.

For real time streaming of most any radio station, I use www.tunein.com It is also free.

Thanks, I just signed up, it looks easy enough but one question that doesn’t seem to be answered on the site. If a Savage show ends at 12 am est, how long will it take for it to be available to download to one’s Itunes player?

“If a Savage show ends at 12 am est, how long will it take for it to be available to download to ones Itunes player?”

Well, I am not sure. It may very well be instant, but I have not needed to know.
I have only Rush on my schedule, as he is on while I am asleep.
Savage will be on mid-day for me, so I will not usually need DAR for his program.
You should play around with the service and get to know it.
I guess we have a few more days before Savage is back.

Waiting to hear the official word. The following is from
Radio-Info.com; O&O means owned and operated of course.
Cumulus syndicates Batchelor (not sure of his fate?), Geraldo, Huckabee, and Mark Levin

>>Cumulus will want to put him on as many O&Os as possible so heres a rundown of what programming airs during the live broadcast time of Savages soon-to-be program. In San Francisco, O&Os KGO and KSFO air a local evening news show and its own syndicated John Batchelor program respectively; WABC, New York airs Batchelor; KABC, Los Angeles airs its own syndicated Mark Levin; WLS-AM, Chicago airs the last hour of Premieres Sean Hannity followed by Levin; WMAL, Washington airs Batchelor; WBAP-AM/FM, Dallas airs local host Chris Krok; and WJR, Detroit airs Mark Levin. With Savages program to debut next Tuesday, October 23, look for some programming changes on Cumulus Media O&O talk outlets.

Under John Batchelor:
>>The future of Batchelor’s program was left uncertain when Cumulus Media (who acquired WABC in 2011) announced it had acquired the broadcast rights to The Savage Nation for air in Batchelor’s current time slot beginning October 23, 2012. Whether Batchelor will continue with the weekend edition of the program is unknown.

Under The Savage Nation:
>>The Savage Nation will be revived on Cumulus Media Networks on October 23, the day the non-compete clause expires. It will air in a new timeslot, 9:00 PM to 12:00 midnight Eastern time, replacing the weeknight edition of John Batchelor’s newsmagazine.

Yes, AllAccess is reporting Savage to start 3 hours later than before.

I’m glad. I liked Savage as a way to wrap up the day without having to say that useless politicians’ phrase “at the end of the day.” I was also starting to miss The Savage Nation threads here in the afternoon.

Don’t know how able I will be, however, to catch the show at 6PM - 9PM Pacific and be online too. Just too much happening between traffic snarls, dinner, late night projects, etc. We shall see.

I wonder why he simply couldn’t have gotten his old timeslot back. It worked great for West Coast commuters and East Coast day-enders.
